A while back (maybe 3-4 years?) there was a paper on common misconceptions of the genetics of various traits. One of them was eye colour in humans. I have lost this reference and can't find it anywhere. Does anyone recognise what I mean?

Massive investment in science in the upcoming Canadian budget would send a strong message that rationality and reason should lead the world, not charlatanism. People will return to science-based policies and health measures, and countries that have not given up will have a strong economic lead!

Peer review ✍️, when done properly, remains an excellent mean to improve manuscripts ✔️. Special thanks to two anonymous reviewers that helped us put together this new version! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The tariff threat has passed for now, but living next to Donald Trump is a Canadian crisis, and it might be making us realize that this beat-up, imperfect country is damned well worth fighting for. Because it sure as hell is. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

#paperalert My group is currently working on Eurasian minnows #Phoxinus. To make comparative genomics & popgen in this highly cryptic genus easier, we published an annotated chromosome-level reference genome. Thanks to @thetemi.bsky.social, Yanis, @astridboehne.bsky.social doi.org/10.1093/giga...

If Canadian universities had a bit of vision, they would be launching a Manhattan project to poach every US-based top researcher. And the federal government would be drastically expanding tri-council funding and creating an expedited review process for those holding NSF and similar grants.
